I developed another sore throat last night (I had been really tired all afternoon). When I get clusters of nasty sore throats it usually indicates that I need to go to the dentist. So I felt like utter shite last night and for most of today. I followed my how-to-get-over-a-cold regime. I think I've had about 10 cloves of raw garlic since in the last 24 hours. Yes, I did say ten.

I had a great day yesterday. I wrote 9 things on that day's Positive Things Which Happened Today list. I will share a subset.

1. J&J: There is a couple who live near me, and catch the same morning trains as I do. I see them between 2 and 5 times a week, either as I walk to the station, or at the station itself. Yesterday we talked properly for the first time. They told me their names, J(boy) and J(girl).
   
2. Massage: I'd made an appointment to see a masseuse straight after work. She is someone whom C recommended. And I loved her. She was wonderful. The massage didn't do anything for my sore hips (in fact they are now worse than they've been all week). However it was Human Touch. Glorious wonderful sublime human touch. And I bit the bullet and had the session completely naked. I've made an appointment to see her twice more (in two weeks, and three weeks). But not for a massage but for Bowen Technique.
   
3. Real Foods: As I said yesterday, I hadn't been to Real Foods for over two years. This was to the Brougham Street branch. I used to live in Tollcross, and I absolutely loved it. The masseuse's flat was in the back part of Polworth (an area I would have still called Fountainbridge). So I spent a wonderful wonderful hour walking from my work on The Royal Mile to Tollcross, The Filmhouse, and then to her flat in Fountainbridge. It so so so confirmed my desire to move back into town. I am so looking forward to it.

Yes, it was a pretty good day. I met some interesting folk, I had my naked body massaged for an hour by an ecclectic masseuse, and I spent an hour walking through parts of town which I loved. Great!
